Features: "New Oriental IELTS Vocabulary Selection" (New Oriental Da Yu English Learning Series) largely overcomes the flaws found in similar books. Its scientific writing principles make this book a truly IELTS-aligned vocabulary guide. These principles include:
1. Practical entries. The selection of entries in this book is based on IELTS vocabulary from the "Longman Contemporary Advanced English Dictionary" (English-English/English-Chinese), the College English Test Band 4 and 6 syllabi, and an IELTS corpus composed of authoritative IELTS publications.
2. Bilingual (Chinese-English) definitions. Definitions are referenced from the "Longman Contemporary Advanced English Dictionary" and the "Oxford Advanced Learner's English-Chinese Dictionary" (6th Edition) to ensure authority and timeliness. English explanations are more beneficial for students to grasp the precise meanings of the vocabulary.
3. Emphasis on vocabulary usage. Most example sentences in the book are extracted from authoritative IELTS publications and accompanied by Chinese translations. The purpose is to help readers memorize the main words while familiarizing them with how these words are used in the IELTS exam.
Produced by New Oriental frontline teachers; entries selected from the IELTS authoritative corpus; bilingual (Chinese-English) definitions ensure the accuracy of meaning annotations; well-chosen examples enhance memory retention and familiarize readers with IELTS contexts; synonyms and antonyms provided for additional memory reinforcement.
